Keep up with the superior attitude and arrogance in regards to shoving legislation down America's throat and you will see an equally huge anit-Obama vote in 2010 and 2012.  By the way, your comment that we need a huge healthcare bill with a strong public option is not on the table and that is precisely why this bill should not go forward.

No, you are wrong. A simple majority is what the founding fathers wrote in the Constitution. The 60% requirement is a senate rule. Not even a law. A rule. And 60% is not  required to pass legislation. It can be the requirement to stop debate to vote on a bill. Legislation in the Senate is still passed by a simple majority vote. “Our founding fathers thought it necessary to require a 60% vote in the Senate to pass legislation”. No, you are wrong.

I suggest reading the Washington Monthly, or Ezra Klein, for a good overview on these matters. ” Who knew the way to pay for healthcare was to increase the number of people receiving it?”
